I hate this job

mousmeHave I mentioned that lately?
We are 600 people online, and there are three hundred calls waiting. That means there are 900 customers either being dealt with or waiting to be dealt with, and they're all cranky.
Don't they have anything better to do with their Saturdays? Honestly. It would never occur to me to do such boring mundane stuff with my Saturday, unless it was cleaning the house or something. Somehow, clearing up bills and things like that smack of weekday work to me.
Speaking of which, I thought yesterday that my work had stiffed me on my paycheque again, but it turns out I was wrong. That doesn't solve my problem, however, as there are an increasing number of "pre-authorised debits" that came off my account in the last two weeks, and I have no idea why that is.
Come Monday I'm going to have to go to my bank and ask who the hell debited more than $300 from my checking account, supposedly with my consent. I'm quite sure I only have four pre-authorised debits: Bell Canada, my car payment, my car insurance, and my GIC. I have identified those four, and there's still $300 in pre-authorised debits unaccounted for. I am extremely upset, as I bloody well can't afford to lose $300 like that.
My landlord hasn't cashed his rent cheque (surprise surprise), so that means I presumably won't have enough food to eat for the next two weeks when he finally does cash his cheque.
*dies massively*
This is of course just on the heels of my swearing fiscal responsiblity to myself. I don't know how the hell I'm going to manage if on top of my own flakiness something is draining my account.
*dies more*
How the fuck did this happen?

Date: 2003-03-01 07:57 am (UTC)Someone told me once that when you are deciding to change a pattern, it causes upheaval at first, because the Universe needs time to realign to your new pattern. This is probably a good example of that -- you've decided to take responsibility for your finances. Now the Universe has to adjust to that decision.
Don't give up. Hold on and ride out the bumps, and eventually it will get better.
What year were you born in, btw? I'm wondering if you're a Rooster on the Chinese calendar. This sort of financial bumpiness often happens to Roosters -- they sort of feast or famine, but always one or the other.

I like the idea of the Universe having to adjust, though: it makes sense. I'm not planning on giving up (I really want to be solvent, dammit!). Thanks for the support. :)

I'd run to the bank ASAP and get to the bottom of this fast. Robbed is a nice blanket term, but it may in fact be a legal, screw-you-over fine print somewhere.
